DISPOSAL OF TEE SURPLUS.

the Scott proposition TO take, in

eUuree from what? Partly icom the
danger OF the absorption OF turplus,
LEI. uoprovidsd for by Congress, into
tbs Treasury, and The contraction OF
the currency that would follow, but
msinly to avert the necessity OF the
sunmoning OF the new Congrsfs in
extra session in March. II the pres
ent Congress evsde their du y, to refer
tao matter to the new Congress, with
men in il fresh from the people,
would probably lead TO the m oct salts
factory settlement the subj .ct is likely
TO attain to at present. II Mr.. Sc1ts's
plan ie not one mainly 10 avert
disaster, but to save the calling OF an
extra SESSION, then it sh5uld be
judged of upon the latter ground.
snsll we collect taxes to carry on
national loaning business, or have the
nsw Congress make rational settle

TIE trus way is TO carry ont the
Democratic policy Of limiting taxes to

leaving the surplus in the pockets OF
the people who want it, and not to
make the government a money broker

ing good profits without 1t.

We have passed the twentieth mile
stone of our journey as an organization;
success has come wherever the field has
been well prepared, the crops carefully
tended and the sheaves safely garnered.
The great need of our Order now seems
to be to let the world know we "still
live," that we have come to stay, and
the Order of Patrons Of Husbandry has
not only done more up to this time for
protecting and advancing the true inter-
ests of the farmers Of our land than all
other orders or societies combined, but
that it has still greater possibilities for
the future. and is the one well-tred and
proven plan by which-if we will-we
can place agriculture where it of right
belongs, in the front rank, and COM
mand for its followers that respect. fair
ness and equality that belongs to them
by birthright and the blessing Of God
himself.
